Cautions: It is not recommended to apply 100% pure essential oils directly to the skin because they are highly concentrated. Instead, you will experience better results if to first dilute a small amount of the oil into water, or mix with your carrier oil or massage lotion before usage. Doing a skin test is also highly recommended for any first-time user. Just put ONE small drop of the oil to the skin and check if it will give you any bad reaction or allergies.
